On the formation of amelogenin microribbons

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 2006
We recently reported the remarkable spontaneous self‐assembly and hierarchical organization of amelogenin ‘microribbons’ and their ability to facilitate oriented growth of apatite crystals in vitro. In a letter of correction we communicated the finding that the X‐ray diffraction pattern reported in our original report was that of cellulose contaminant ...

Molecular Cloning of Bovine Amelogenin cDna

Advances in Dental Research, 1987
Molecular cloning of a bovine amelogenin cDNA was accomplished by construction of a cDNA expression library (λgt11 cDNA library) from the bovine ameloblast mRNA and then screening of the library with antibodies to bovine amelogenins. The complete primary structure of an amelogenin was deduced from cloned cDNA.

Amelogenin Gene Regulation

2010
The amelogenin genes encode the conserved amelogenin proteins, which are expressed at a high level during the secretory stage of amelogenesis by ameloblast cells in the developing tooth. Most of the amelogenin genes studied to date have 7 exons, however exons 8 and 9 have been identified in some rodents.

Amelogenin is a Cell Adhesion Protein

Journal of Dental Research, 2002
Amelogenin, the major protein component of tooth enamel, is shown to be a cell adhesion protein. Since it had been shown that an amelogenin-containing preparation, Emdogain®, possessed cell-adhesive activity, we tested the hypothesis that amelogenin was responsible for cell-adhesive activity.

Regulation of Amelogenin Gene Expression

Critical Reviews in Eukaryotic Gene Expression, 1999
The X-chromosomal amelogenin gene is expressed at a high level by ameloblast cells within the enamel organ for a short time during tooth development. Therefore, expression is both tooth specific and developmentally regulated. A Y-chromosomal amelogenin gene is also active in human and cow, but has not been detected in mouse.

Molecular Evolution of Amelogenin in Mammals

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2005
An evolutionary analysis of mammalian amelogenin, the major protein of forming enamel, was conducted by comparison of 26 sequences (including 14 new ones) representative of the main mammalian lineages. Amelogenin shows highly conserved residues in the hydrophilic N- and C-terminal regions.

The amelogenin story: origin and evolution

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 2006
Genome sequencing and gene mapping have permitted the identification of HEVIN (SPARC‐Like1) as the probable ancestor of the enamel matrix proteins (EMPs), amelogenin (AMEL), ameloblastin (AMBN) and enamelin (ENAM). We have undertaken a phylogenetic analysis to elucidate their relationships.

Amelogenin Gene Expression in Porcine Odontoblasts

Journal of Dental Research, 2002
Amelogenin is the major organic component in the enamel matrix of developing teeth and plays an important role in enamel biomineralization. Amelogenin has been reported to be a specific secretory product of ameloblasts. In this study, we examined amelogenin gene expression in various cell layers prepared from a porcine permanent tooth germ using ...

The amelogenin gene.

The International journal of developmental biology, 1995
Amelogenin is a major protein constituent of the developing enamel matrix. This protein is now well characterized from the data of amino acid sequences which have been shown to be at a high degree of homology between all species investigated to date.

Microstructures of an Amelogenin Gel Matrix

Journal of Structural Biology, 1999
The thermo-reversible transition (clear opaque) of the amelogenin gel matrix, which has been known for some three decades, has now been clarified by microstructural investigations. A mixed amelogenin preparation extracted from porcine developing enamel matrix (containing "25K," 7.4%; "23K," 10.7%; "20K," 49.5%; and smaller peptides, 32.4%) was ...
